Thursday 7/8 "Chicken and Couscous"

Quick Fix by Robin Miller

Chicken
•1 lb chicken breasts (already purchased)
•Salt and ground black pepper
•2 teaspoons ground cumin (already purchased)
•2 teaspoons ground coriander (already purchased)
•1 tablespoon olive oil (already purchased)
•1 ripe mango, diced ($0.50)
•1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves (already purchased)
DirectionsSeason both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper. Rub cumin and coriander all over both sides of chicken. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mango and cilantro. Top chicken with mango mixture just before serving.
Couscous
•1 cup couscous (already purchased)
•1/2 cup frozen green peas ($1.50)
•1 teaspoon ground coriander (already purchased)
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves ($2.00)
•Salt and ground black pepper
Directions
Cook couscous according to package directions, adding peas and coriander when you add couscous to hot water. When ready to fluff with a fork, add mint and toss to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.

The verdict: Okay. I LOVE that this was just $4.00 to make! All the flavors were so good. My girls love the mango. Mint is just delicious. I actually cooked this with my girls--they helped season. I will definitely make this again!
